Kigali Genocide Memorial

The Kigali Genocide Memorial in Kigali, Rwanda stands as a poignant tribute to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Inaugurated on the genocide's 10th anniversary, this memorial at Gisozi honors the 250,000 lives lost and educates on the atrocities of the 20th century genocides.

The ongoing project, the Wall of Names, commemorates the deceased, with many names still awaiting documentation. The memorial gardens offer a serene space for reflection on the genocide's history, urging us all to take personal responsibility in preventing discrimination and mass atrocities.

Moreover, the center extends support to survivors, especially orphans and widows, embodying Rwanda's commitment to peace, reconciliation, and combating genocidal ideologies. Visit and bookmark our page for more information on the Kigali Genocide Memorial and its vital mission.
